It was just a fucking apple man, we're sorry okay? Please stop the madness

I will be unwrapping presents with my wife and immediate family. My parents house is under serious construction so they will be opening their gifts at my house. With any luck I will be watching classic Navy war movies with my dad, as that's what I got him for Christmas. I don't plan on cooking a feast, because a) I'm not a very good cook and b) I'm lazy. I don't think my wife will either. I may go shooting with my little brother too as I got him some shooting accessories for his .22, if he wants.

I'm kinda' feeling sorry for myself at present---the Christmas season always brings its own sort of melancholy mixed in with the cheer...but really, I like to think of making my *own* Christmas... Sometimes that's Christmas cards for everyone I can think of...one year it included giving fun Christmas socks to all my immediate coworkers....for a couple of years I bought a handful of TSO CDs and gave them out to random people on a whim, anonymously at times....one year after Christmas Eve service I took little gold and silver glitter star ornaments & walked the surrounding neighborhood leaving sparkly stars everywhere... I guess I've just been too caught up in my day-to-day existence to have had time to think of doing anything yet. Plus, it's Florida, and the Christmas spirit is slow to descend on me since moving here. I might still get inspired & motivated enough to do something to make Christmas meaningful before it's over...

Hey I've been invited to a Christmas party with work peeps on Friday night. They're not my direct coworkers & are a great bunch of people. I'm thinking of bringing hot buttered rum--always wanted to try some & it reminds me of a more nostalgic time. Bet it'll be a hit! I'll raise a glass for you & the solstice, Stark.
